During last night’s episode of The Project, co-host Carrie Bickmore managed to let us in on yet another private detail of what life is like living with her nine-year-old son Ollie and almost-two-year-old Evie.
Three words: side-splittingly hysterical!
The candid mum-of-two, who, on numerous occasions has filled Australia in on just how much her kids love Peppa Pig, could barely hold her laughter back upon telling Peter Hellier what her son calls her daughter.
Yep, Ollie calls Evie… Beaver!
‘My son’s nickname for our daughter [Evie] is beaver,’ the 36-year-old said, trying to choke back her laughter.
“And every time he calls out to Beaver, we all laugh!”
WATCH the hilarious moment when Carrie Bickmore confesses her daughter’s nickname!
This too-funny revelation came shortly after Carrie admitted that she’s not a helicopter parent, following her son’s walking to school for the first time on his own.
“This is how much of a helicopter parent I am not,” she began, “at lunch time, my friend said, “And he got there OK?” And I said, “I don’t know, I think!'”, she confessed.
She later checked in with the school to make sure he had arrived OK, but her co-host Waleed Aly interrupted her, saying, “Isn’t what you did actually normal?”
“Well that’s what would have happened when I was growing up, I had to walk three Ks and I don’t think anyone called to school to check that I had got there,” she replied.
What do you think? Do you think she should’ve followed up with the school to check that Ollie had arrived OK? Or is it OK that she didn’t? Let us know on our Facebook page!
